Changes to eligibility

From April 2010, the Government changed the age of eligibility for concessionary bus travel in line with changes made to the state pension age.

This means that the age of eligibility for a Diamond Travelcard was adjusted to reflect the pensionable age for women.

As the pensionable age for women gradually increases from 60 to 65 over the ten-year period from 2010 to 2020, the age of eligibility for a Diamond Travelcard will also increase for both men and women.

To find out when you will become eligible for a Diamond Travelcard, download our Concessionary Fares Eligibility Dates table.

For more information about these changes, read the Frequently Asked Questions or contact the Diamond Travelcard team.
